The afternoon event took place on August 15 at the New York City-based NYX store near Union Square, a popular area for NYU students, millennials and fashionistas.

Fashionistas that attended the event were able to see NYX’s fall line, drink wine and eat snacks. The store was packed with those looking for beauty advice, searching for new products and colors and network with beauty industry makeup artists and stylists.
